while driving, immediately stop
your vehicle at a safe place well
clear of traffic and take the

Regeneration in Progress
Light
REGEN. IN PROGRESS
When this light is ON, DPF
regeneration is in progress. When
the vehicle is stationary, the exhaust
sound changes as the engine speed
increases. Also, operating sounds of
the exhaust throttle may be heard. Keep people and flammable objects
away from the exhaust pipe,
because the exhaust temperature
becomes high during regeneration.
When regeneration is completed,
the light goes out automatically. See
Diesel Particulate Filter
0171.
During extended engine idling, this
light may appear on the DIC and the
DPF may be automatically
regenerated.
Checking PM Level Light
CHECKING PM LEVEL
In the case of performing the
"Selectable" regeneration, this light
comes on when the DPF switch is
kept held down. While this light is
ON, the system is checking whether
or not the "Selectable" regeneration
is possible. If the "Selectable"
regeneration is possible, the light
changes to the selectable (switch)
regeneration required warning light.
If the indication does not change to
the selectable (switch) regeneration
required warning light, the
"Selectable" regeneration is not
possible.

The positive distance or time shows
the remaining of that and the
negative distance or time shows the excess of that. For the items listed
below, the displayed color will

remaining distance is below
1 600 km (1,000 mi) and the screen
is selected.
These screens are also displayed
when the engine control switch
turns to the ON position after above
notification timing. The message
remains on the display until the DIC
selector is pressed once or the
vehicle is started.

Using the Compact Disc
System
Disc
When it is cold or when it is raining,
the car windows will fog up and
cause condensation (water drops) to
form in the vehicle compartment.
When this happens, the audio may
skip, and playback will stop.
Ventilate the vehicle compartment
and dehumidify before
resuming use.
The audio may skip due to violent
vibrations when the car is traveling
across harsh roads. Never insert foreign objects into the
disc insertion slot.
Do not insert a wet disc into the
player.
This player uses an invisible laser
beam which could cause hazardous
radiation exposure if directed
outside the player. Be sure to
operate the player correctly.
Playback may not be possible due
to recording conditions or disc
characteristics, scratches, dirt,
or deterioration.
